Let's see...I bought Jon Stewart's book "Earth" for my mother, "Marine! The Story of Chesty Puller" for a Marine Veteran friend and Malala's book for myself. I didn't see any of those on their stoopid list so I guess I'm sane?

QueenMamaBee:Why are people ordering the DSM-5? Good Lord, people are hard up to have a mental illness (or explain away their stupid behavior... "I'm not a drama queen, I have Histronic Personality Disorder!"

2.We treat women so unequally in the workplace that they're starting to form support groups.

We had these "support groups" at work for a while. When the recession hit they sort of went away but they are being "revitalized" now which is good I guess since it means corporate has money to waste on things that don't add value to the bottom line. Last e-mail I got was there was one for Hispanics, one for women, one for blacks, one for Asians and one for the LGBT crowd. American Indians, Pacific Islanders and the Middle East crowd sort lost out and was surprised we did not have one for disabled veterans has we have more than a couple of them.

3. Self help books? Is it really "self help' if somebody else is telling you how to do it?

cgraves67:I rather like Rick Riordan's books. It makes ancient Greek and Roman culture palatable for young readers.

I read the first Percy Jackson book and was astounded at the low quality of Rich Riordan's writing. Even for a book aimed at kids, it was astoundingly poor.

JK Rowling isn't the best writer to grace children's literature in the last decade, but there's a reason her works will endure - she actually put some craft to her storytelling and was obviously more in love with the story than the eventual money she made.

/She just needed an editor in books 4-7 who wasn't terrified of saying "no" to pointless tangents. Books 1-3 were much better for it.

Serious contenders are transitioning from the IC-9 to the ICD-10

I was upset that misophonia didn't make it into the DSM-5. I need justification for when I pimp slap the nail clipper, the ice cruncher and the popcorn cruncher.

Treygreen13:Well, I did learn that somebody from Slate had a deadline to meet.

pretty much this. I don't think there's anything all that profound about that list but it probably looks like journalism to the average Slate reader and took the author all of about 15 minutes to write up.

also signing on to the I rather like his book bandwagon. Ive read all of them so far. Pretty solid for YA fare and honestly trump some of the adult offerings (50 shades was shiat, but less shiat than twilight was).
